Cut my baby's finger :(

I cut my baby's finger earlier whilst clipping his nails. Felt so soooo bad!! It bled a lot, probably not that much but seemed loads to me. I fed him and he fell asleep so it can't be too sore, can it?

I used to bite my babies fingernails.. Easier than trying use clippers and won't go too far then. Obviously some people might find that bit gross lol and toenails are harder to trim. Saves them scratching themselves though xx

No you are not a bad mom..it is really hard using nail clippers on babies, especially when they don't keep still...I did it to my first baby and broke my heart afterwards, felt really bad too. I always bite my children's nails now until they are old enough to understand and keep still for me to use nail clippers.

I might try that next time. We put a plaster on it, I'm too worried to open it now. Still can't help but feel so bad about it, poor wee thing! He seems happy enough, feeding and napping as usual. Hopefully it's not as bad as I thought but it does really break your heart!! Being a mum is so hard....

Your toddler is beginning to understand when things aren't right according to grown-up ideas. She'll laugh at something that's obviously wrong, like calling a giraffe a zebra or calling a brother a sister. Read More

Your child could well be able to run, though not as smoothly as he will later. He may also go upstairs by himself, but he'll most likely need some help on the way down. He can probably kick a ball too. Read More
